Wii finally found it!!!!
Andy has a birthday on August 15th and he has been asking for a Wii. I knew around Christmas time they were very hard to come by but I never imagined that in the middle of August they would be just as hard to find. I had waited until the last minute to start shopping for it and then I began to panic.... I started on Monday calling around and searching the internet for the best price, little to my surpise the price was not my biggest problem, I could not find one anywhere!!!!! Every store kept telling me they were sold out and not wxpecting a shipment b4 Andy's birthday but they told me to look around on the internet, of course I found them there but I could not believe the price $350.00 was the cheapest that I found. I asked around at work yesterday and someone told me to try a place called Gamestop. I called the one closest to me and they were also sold out but the saleman did tell me that he thought the store in Asheboro had 1 left. I immediatly called them and they did have 1 in stock, I begged the guy at the store to hold it for me and he greatfully said he would for 4 hours!!! What is a mother to do but take my 1 1/2 hour lunch, 10 gallons of gas and drive 45 mins to make a 10 year old birthday boy happy!!!!!

Oh, my goodness! You go mom!Will he open it up Sunday or on his bday. Well, duh, I'm sure on his birthday. Emily is going to be so excited! they will be able to play each other from home. I'm still looking for the wii fit!
I asked Austin to read your post because we had a hard time finding our Wii too. He couldn't believe that, by the sound of your post, you didn't know about Gamestop - his FAVORITE store.
I know Andy will be so excited - my kids (Ron included) sure do enjoy ours
PS We found ours at the Gamestop in the new shopping center on New Garden, where Target, Bed Bath & Beyond and Michael's are - did you try there?
I know he will be one happy birthday boy. The things we moms do for our kids!!!
